Satellite capacity is the biggest running cost of the teleport business
model. In research for its 2011 Top Operator rankings, WTA asked
respondents to share in confidence information on gross revenues and
annual spending on satellite capacity. Respondents spent an average of
47% of revenue on satellite capacity and capacity spending ranged from a
low of 14% of revenues to a high of 79%. In this newest report, WTA
focuses on the actual terms of capacity contracts that can create
potential harm or advantage for the teleport operator, from ramp ups to
termination clauses, portability to quality of service.

On June 13 the report will be available free to WTA Members and for purchase in the WTA store for non-members.

Then beginning on June 26, WTA’s Executive
Director will hold a series of webinars for members in different time zones to
discuss the report and answer questions.
